Building solid, trusting relationships is among my greatest strengths as a therapist. It is essential for me to help you work on your issues without fear of criticism and a secure sense that you feel accepted. I strive to create a safe, productive place for you to grow, learn and change. I take a comprehensive approach in my work so that we may consider your life experiences, biology and social environment - all of which influence who you are. We will work collaboratively to identify and change repetitive patterns that may be getting in your way.

Children and teens face unprecedented pressures in a rapidly changing society. A significant number of young people often struggle with the pressure to keep up, especially when they observe their peers effortlessly navigating socially and academically. This disparity can intensify their feelings of inadequacy, highlighting the necessity for extra guidance and support to help them thrive. While some children and teens benefit from current trends, these approaches are not universally effective. Individuals with unique needs often find themselves expected to adapt to environments that do not always accommodate their differences.

Hi, my name is Renz! I love working with children (7+), teens, and young adults up to 26 who are navigating big emotions, identity, relationships, or life transitions.

Together, we will create a safe, supportive space to build coping skills, strengthen self-understanding, and help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

Tell me if this sounds familiar— you and your partner aren’t seeing eye-to-eye on an issue. This turns into a frustrating argument with hurt feelings, and one of you wants to fix things right now, while the other wants a break. In the meantime, both of you feel unheard and are becoming more disconnected from each other. Maybe you aren’t struggling in a relationship, but you don’t have motivation or excitement in life. You have tried pushing through hard days, but it doesn’t seem to be working and you want a new path forward. Whatever your road to arrive on my profile, I am so glad you did. Let me explain how I might be able to help.

You look capable on the outside, but inside, you're running constant damage control. Your shoulders stay tense, your jaw clenches, and your mind is always scanning for what could go wrong. Even when the day ends, you can't seem to turn off. As a high-achieving or highly sensitive (HSP) woman or teen girl, you may feel like you are constantly bracing against the world. Moving from survival to internal safety requires more than just managing symptoms; it requires understanding the story your body is telling. I help clients across the Grand Canyon State finally feel safe in their own skin.

Seeking out a therapist and entering therapy can sometimes be an intimidating prospect. My goal as a therapist is to create a therapeutic environment that puts a client at ease and supports self-exploration in a safe, comfortable atmosphere. A client's desire for growth and change is a very personal journey and I believe in an individualized approach that supports each person's expressed need. Life is littered with suffering in different forms and I want to aid my clients in developing a deeper understanding of this suffering and meaning to what may feel meaningless. Telehealth in CA and in-person/telehealth for AZ clients.

I help adults struggling with anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and trauma-related patterns affecting relationships and self-confidence.
Do you find yourself constantly overthinking—running the same thoughts over and over, but still feeling stuck? Stress may be impacting your relationships, your work, or how you see yourself. You’re not looking to just talk—you want clarity, relief, and real, practical change.

I specialize in negative thinking, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, communication skills, and assertiveness skills.
Do you long for relief and clarity? Are you ready to feel whole and confident in your ability to do hard things? Our soul is the essence of who we are and prioritizing a healthy soul is the best way to honor ourselves. The practice of honoring the soul involves several steps: acknowledge it's pain, offer compassion instead of judgment, and fight for it's healing. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to learn this practice so that out of brokenness, there emerges an honored soul. It takes courage to start this process but you won't do it alone. Let's tend to your soul together.

Addressing feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, and low self-esteem, along with processing experienced trauma will not only help you feel better but learn to think about things differently.
If you are struggling and you are not sure what to do or where to start, you are exactly where you need to be. Whether it is your family, friends, relationships, work, school, or just not feeling like you- we can tackle it together! Therapy is an opportunity for you to talk about different and possibly difficult parts of your life, however big or small. Therapy is work, and I will not only empower you, but challenge you, and encourage you to do the work outside of sessions. We will utilize your strengths as you have what it takes to be the best version of yourself.

I think most of us can't get through life unscathed or without wounds. Whether as children or adults, those closest to us may not know the depth of our pain or how to help us heal. And we may not know how to express that pain. This is where having a sacred time and space can be pivotal in healing from events robbing us of our sense of well being as we navigate life. My goal for every client is that you can learn to love yourself and know deeply that you can handle life, no matter how it goes. You can turn a corner in an EMDR session - from 'I'm unlovable' to 'I am fine as I am.' Or 'I can't let go' to 'it is over.' You're worth it.
